Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram for illustrating a user interface on a terminal (e.g., terminal 100 of fig. 1). In some implementations, a user can open a corresponding application by touching an application icon on the user interface, or can open a corresponding folder by touching a folder icon on the user interface.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart for illustrating a processing method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the processing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: at a terminal having one or more processors, memory, an input unit, and a display unit:

step 301, receiving a request of a user to open a target application program.

The target application program may be an application program installed on the terminal by a user, or may be an application program carried by the terminal when the terminal leaves a factory. The target application may be a third party application or may be a system application. In some implementations, the target application is an messaging application, a mail application, a browser application, or a telephony application.

In some implementations, the user can open the target application by touching an application icon on the user interface and can also open the target application with the voice assistant, for example, by speaking "open info" after waking up the voice assistant. The method for opening the target application by the user is not limited to the above two methods, and the target application may be opened by other methods.

Step 302, if the target application program is determined to be in a mute state, displaying prompt information corresponding to a target mute setting item on a user interface; wherein the target mute setting item is a mute setting item corresponding to a path through which the current mute state is set.

In step 302, the target application is in a mute state, which means that there is no sound during the running of the target application. In one embodiment, there is no sound during the running of the messaging application, and the terminal will not make an audible alert when new information arrives. In another embodiment, there is no sound during the running of the browser application, and the terminal does not output sound when playing video with the browser.

In step 302, the mute setting item is used to indicate setting options for enabling the target application to be in a mute state, and the number of the setting options may be one or more. When the mute setting item of the target application program is multiple, the embodiment of the invention has better beneficial effect.

In an optional embodiment, the mute setting item is: ring tone, volume, or do not disturb mode. For example, the user may set the ring tone of the messaging application to none, or set the volume of the messaging application to 0, or turn on the do-not-disturb mode, so that the messaging application is muted, in other words, the terminal will not sound alert a new message.

The target mute setting in step 302 is not a mute setting that can mute the target application, but is a mute setting that currently mutes the target application.

For example, the destination application is an messaging application, and the messaging application can be muted with the ring tone empty, volume 0, and do not disturb mode active. Assume that the user has turned on the do-not-disturb mode of the terminal in the previous meeting scenario, so that the information application is now in a mute state. Then the target mute setting in step 302 is the do-not-disturb mode.

In step 302, a prompt message corresponding to the target mute setting item is displayed on the user interface for prompting the user of the reason why the current target application program is in the mute state. In the above example, a prompt corresponding to the do-not-disturb mode is displayed on the user interface to prompt the user that the information credit program is currently in a mute state due to the turn-on of the do-not-disturb mode.

In an alternative embodiment, the determination of whether the target application is in a mute state is made by:

step 3021, querying a mute setting item corresponding to the target application program from a system database.

In specific implementation, the mute setting item can be assigned according to the setting result of the mute setting item, and written into the system database. A specific example is given below for an information application. If the setting result of the user on the disturbance-free mode is on, the value of the mute setting item of the disturbance-free mode is given as '1'; if the user does not turn on the do-not-disturb mode, the value of the mute setting item "do-not-disturb mode" will be assigned to "0". If the user sets the information ring tone to be null, the value of the mute setting item of 'ring tone' is assigned to '1'; if the user sets the information ring tone to a certain audio, the value of the mute setting item "ring tone" is assigned to "0". If the user sets the volume of the information to 0, the value of the mute setting item of 'volume' is assigned to '1'; if the user sets the volume of the information to a value greater than 0, the value of the mute setting item "volume" is assigned to "0". Table 1 is used to show the system database of the present embodiment, the application programs include information, mail, browser, and call, and the mute setting items include the do not disturb mode, ring tone, and volume.

TABLE 1

	Information	Mail piece	Browser	Communication system
					Disturbance free mode	0	0	0	0
Ring tone	1	0	1	1
					Volume of sound	1	0	1	0
Others	0	0	0	0

Step 3022, if there is a mute setting item meeting a preset condition, determining that the target application program is in a mute state, and using the mute setting item meeting the preset condition as a target mute setting item.

In an optional implementation manner, whether the mute setting item meets the preset condition is judged according to the value of the mute setting item in the system database.

For example, in table 1, a mute setting item with a value of "1" may cause the corresponding application to be in a mute state, so that whether the mute setting item meets the preset condition may be determined by determining whether the value of the mute setting item is "1". Taking the information application as an example, all the mute setting items corresponding to the information application are inquired from table 1, and there are two mute setting items meeting the preset condition, specifically, the "ring tone" and the "volume", so that it can be determined that the information application is in a mute state. Taking the mail application as an example, there is no mute setting item that meets the preset condition, so it can be determined that the mail application is in a non-mute state.

In an optional implementation manner, the user interface is an interface of the target application program. In a specific implementation, when initializing the ListView interface of the target application, a view, such as a HeadView, may be added for displaying the hint information corresponding to the target mute setting.

Fig. 4-6 are schematic diagrams of interfaces respectively used to illustrate displaying of reminder information on an interface of an information application. As shown in fig. 4, a prompt message indicating that the ring tone is empty is displayed on a view 801. As shown in fig. 5, a prompt message with a message volume of 0 is displayed on the view 802. As shown in fig. 6, a prompt message allowing the disturbance not turned on, i.e., the disturbance-free mode is turned on, is displayed on the view 803.

Fig. 7-9 are schematic diagrams respectively illustrating a jump from an interface displaying a reminder to a setup interface.

In an alternative embodiment, after step 302, the following steps are further included:

step 3031, receiving a request of opening a target mute setting item through the user interface by a user.

In this embodiment, an entry for entering the target mute setting item is provided on the user interface.

And 3041, jumping to a setting interface corresponding to the target mute setting item.

In this embodiment, the user may set the target mute setting item on the setting interface corresponding to the target mute setting item.

In one embodiment, in fig. 7 (a), a prompt is shown on the user interface of the messaging application that the messaging ringtone is empty, and the user can request to turn on the target silence setting item, i.e., "ringtone", by touching the location on the view 801 where "set". And then jumps to the ringtone setting interface shown in fig. 7 (b). As can be seen from the block in fig. 7 (b), the informational ring tone is now set to none and the user can cause the informational application to be in a non-silent state by modifying the informational ring tone.

In the implementation of the above example, packages and classes corresponding to the settings interface, such as com. When the position of the setting on the view 801 is detected to be touched by the user, the jump to the setting interface can be realized by calling the Intent of the view 801.

In another embodiment, shown in fig. 8 (a), a prompt message with an information volume of 0 is displayed on the user interface of the information application, and the user can request to turn on the target mute setting item, i.e., "volume", by touching the position where "set" is located in view 802. And then jumps to the volume setting interface as shown in fig. 8 (b). As can be seen from the box in fig. 8 (b), the volume of the message is now set to 0 and the user can cause the messaging application to be in a non-silent state by turning the volume up.

In the implementation of the above example, packages and classes corresponding to the settings interface, such as com.android.settings/. settings.soundsettings availability, are stored in the Intent of view 802. When the position of the setting on the touch view 802 of the user is detected, the jump to the setting interface can be realized by calling the Intent of the view 802.

In another embodiment, shown in fig. 9 (a), a prompt message allowing the disturbance-off, i.e., the disturbance-free mode, to be turned on is displayed on the user interface of the messaging application, and the user can request the turning on of the target mute setting item, i.e., "disturbance-free mode", by touching the position in which "setting" is located in view 803. And then jumps to the do not disturb mode setup interface as shown in fig. 9 (b). As can be seen in the box in fig. 9 (b), the do-not-disturb mode is currently on, and the user can cause the messaging application to be in a non-silent state by turning off the do-not-disturb mode.

In the implementation of the above example, packages and classes corresponding to the settings interface, such as com. When the position of the "setting" on the user touch view 803 is detected, calling the Intent of the view 803 can implement jumping to the setting interface.

In another alternative embodiment, the user interface is a pop-up prompt window.

Fig. 10 and 11 are schematic diagrams of interfaces for showing display of prompt information on a pop-up prompt window, respectively.

In one example, a prompt window pops up after the interface of the target application is displayed. As shown in fig. 10, a prompt window 1001 pops up after the interface of the information application is displayed.

In another example, a prompt window pops up before displaying the interface of the target application. As shown in fig. 11, a prompt window 1002 pops up before displaying the interface of the information application.

In an optional implementation manner, the number of the target mute setting items is one, and the prompt information corresponding to the one target mute setting item is displayed on the user interface. In table 1, taking the call application as an example, if the target silence setting item meeting the preset condition is only "ring", only the prompt information corresponding to "ring" is displayed on the user interface.

In another optional embodiment, the number of the target mute setting items is greater than one, and in step 302, the displaying a prompt message corresponding to the target mute setting item on the user interface specifically includes:

step 3023, comparing the priorities of all the target mute setting items;

and step 3024, displaying prompt information corresponding to the target mute setting item with the highest priority on the user interface.

In this embodiment, priorities are set for the mute setting items, and only the prompt information corresponding to the target mute setting item with the highest priority is displayed on the user interface.

In the above example, taking the messaging application as an example, the "do not disturb mode" may be set to have the highest priority, the "ringtone" may have the next highest priority, and the "volume" may have the lowest priority. In table 1, the target mute setting item for putting the information application in a mute state includes "ring tone" and "volume", the priorities of which are compared in step 3023, and a prompt message corresponding to "ring tone" is displayed on the user interface in step 3024.

Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram for illustrating display of a part of the target mute setting item on the interface of the information application.

In another optional embodiment, the number of the target mute setting items is greater than one, and in step 302, the displaying a prompt message corresponding to the target mute setting item on the user interface specifically includes: and displaying prompt information corresponding to part of the target mute setting items on the user interface.

In one example of the present embodiment, taking an information application as an example, the target mute setting items to be muted include "do not disturb mode", "ring tone", and "volume". As shown in fig. 12, only two alert messages are displayed on the interface of the information application, specifically, the alert message corresponding to "ring tone" is displayed in the view 901, and the alert message corresponding to "volume" is displayed in the view 902.

Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram for illustrating display of all target mute setting items on the interface of the information application.

In another optional embodiment, the number of the target mute setting items is greater than one, and in step 302, the displaying a prompt message corresponding to the target mute setting item on the user interface specifically includes: and displaying prompt information corresponding to all the target mute setting items on the user interface.

In one example of the present embodiment, taking an information application as an example, the target mute setting items to be muted include "do not disturb mode", "ring tone", and "volume". As shown in fig. 13, three alert messages are displayed on the interface of the information application, specifically, the alert message corresponding to "ring tone" is displayed in the view 901, the alert message corresponding to "volume" is displayed in the view 902, and the alert message corresponding to "do not disturb mode" is displayed in the view 903.

step 3032, receiving a request of closing the prompt message by the user.

Step 3042, close the prompt.

In this embodiment, an entry for closing the prompt message is provided on the user interface.

In one example, the user may request that the reminder be turned off by touching the location on view 801 in FIG. 4 where "unused". In response to the request, the control view 801 is no longer displayed. In one example, the target mute setting item for causing the information application to be in a mute state is only "ring tone", and the display unit 140 displays an interface as shown in fig. 14 in response to the user touching a position in the view 801 where "unused". In another example, the target mute setting item for causing the information application to be in a mute state includes "ring tone" and "volume", and the priority of "ring tone" is higher than the priority of "volume", and in response to the user touching the position in the view 801 where "unused", the display unit 140 displays the interface as shown in fig. 5, and prompts corresponding to "volume" are displayed on the view 802.
